Chapeltown station was a good place to stop for lunch, being as it's right next to a large Asda. The station site is quite long, with the platforms evidently having moved south towards Chapeltown Market over the station's life. We entered at the north end of the site where Arundel Road crosses the line, and we can see the old platform edges looking south:

The old station building is at this end of the station, although it's all bricked up now and not apparently in use:
